cool season veggies planted… before the snow!

At this time of year I usually chuckle at the people complaining about the weather.  As an experienced Calgary gardener, I always say - don't get excited about spring until at least early May and then you won't be disappointed!  Okay, well it's early May and my garden still looks like this:

Argh.

But before we got this big dump, I did manage to get my cool-season veggie seeds planted:

My spinach, kale, lettuce, peas, chard and arugula were planted on Apr 27 and, unlike me, they will be completely unbothered by this weather!!
